According to Kingston, the drive has sequential
read/write throughputs of 555/510 MB/s and max random R/W
IOPS of 85k/74k. SandForce DuraClass technology is also
there to provide endurance.

Shipping in 90 GB, 120 GB, 240 GB, and 480 GB capacities,
HyperX 3K SSD comes in a black and aluminum case design.
It is available as either a stand-alone drive or in an
upgrade kit. HyperX 3K SSD is backed by a three-year
warranty.

The '3K' refers to the number of program/erase cycles
the NAND inside the SSD is rated for. Intel's 50nm MLC
NAND was rated for 10,000 program/erase cycles. At 34nm
Intel saw its p/e count drop to 5,000 cycles, and at 25nm
we saw a range from 3,000 - 5,000. The latest SSD
controllers include wear leveling logic to ensure that
all cells are written to evenly, so even at the lower end
of the Intel 25nm range there's more than enough lifespan
for a typical client workload. Intel offers both 3K and
5K rated 25nm NAND. The standard HyperX drive ships with
5K 25nm Intel MLC NAND, while the HyperX 3K ships with 3K
25nm Intel MLC NAND.

Kingston's new SSD seems to be a good deal, at least on
paper. It features all the great performance of the Hyper
X series but still it costs you $10 - $20 less. The 90GB
version is available online for $90. For the 120GB, 240GB
and 480GB you'll have to spend $170, $320 and $700,
respectively.
